From Our Head of School
Dear Prince Families:

Please remember to reenroll your student for school year 21/22 as soon as possible; we are experiencing a larger than normal volume of applications from mission fit families undoubtedly fueled by the pandemic, and we want to ensure we save your child’s seat for next year.

Our post-holiday re-entry with its expected increase in COVID cases is behind us, and we have a lot to do these last 73 days of school (67 days for seniors). In addition to our full academic calendar, the number of fine arts and athletic events on the schedule reveals we will be sprinting at times!

Please continue to monitor your child’s health and keep them at home if they have a fever or are sick. Our current student numbers are SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER following the post-Christmas spike: 5 positives (3 high school and 2 middle school), and 31 quarantined: 15 high school, 6 middle school, and 10 lower school. Thank you for entrusting our dedicated faculty and staff with the safety and education of your children. We remain strongly committed to fulfilling our mission statement through our partnership with you.

With warms regards and in His service,
Seth Hathaway, Ed.S.

Dear Parents,

This week in our high school chapel we continued our series in Proverbs and looked at how walking wisely with Jesus leads us to a life of thriving. We spoke to our students about the power of their words and how they reflect what is truly in our hearts. With the number of words we speak every day, we encouraged them to see themselves as authors and to always tell a story that points to Jesus!
